Hello! I'm Jessica -local artist, brilliant wife, loving momma, and art educator extrodinare. I studied Art Education at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign with a concentration in studio painting. As an art educator, I have an expansive knowledge and curiosity of all things art. Recently, after completing my 6th year teaching K-8th grade art, I decided to dedicate my artistic talents at home with my daughter as my sidekick.
I've always been attracted to the way art brings communities together. I grew up in small town - Riverside, IL - and now having moved back here to raise my family, I have an even stronger appreciation for supporting local economy. Both my parents were small business owners, and I can still smell the sawdust and paint from my grandfather's wood shop. My husband and I created all these products together by hand in our wood shop studio. When you buy from our local artistry shop, you are not helping a CEO buy their 3rd home. Instead, you are giving this art loving momma a sense of pride and supporting our family. I am so glad you stopped by, please leave comments or give feedback if you can!
